CHICAGO,S BIG STRIKE.
The Bricklayers' Union TO Call out all
the Men To-day.

Une NIGH IO-udy.
CHICAGO, May 13.--Fifteen hundred
bricklayers and almost as many carpenters,
hod carriers and other workmen employed
ON buildings were reported idle this morn
ing, with fresh accessions hourly. To-mor-
row it is said the Bricklayers' Union will go
through the formality of ordering a strike,
and will call out the few men at work at
present. Thirty-six men at work for Joseph
Downey on the depot at indianapolis have
been called in and are expected in town to-
morrow. The architects and real estate
dealers have called meetings at which com
mittees will be appointed to confer and CO
operate with a committee to be appointed
by the builders tomorrow morning, for the
purpose of endorsing any action taken by
the members of the Builders and Traders
Exchange.
BUILDERS STOPPING WORK.
The following notice was mailed to each
memlsr of the Master Masons and Binders
Association to-day:
In pursuance of the following resolution
adopted at a meeting of the association held
Tuesday evening, May 10, you are hereby
requested TO stop all work Friday, May 13,
and report to the executive committee.
RESOLVED, That we, the Master Masons' and
Builders Association, do hereby pledge our
selves to refuse to comply with the demand
made by the Brcklayers' and Stone Masons'
Unions for the payment OF wages on Saturday
and we furthermore bind ourselves on our
honor to pay every second Monday or Tuesday,
and that In case the bricklayers or stone masons
refuse to work or strike on any members of the
Msster Masons' and Builders Association, that
we shall shut down all our work until said strike
is over.
BUILDING OPERATIONS CEASE.
Tonight all building operations under con-
troll of members of the Master Masons' Associ-
alton were shut down, so far as the bricklay-
ers and stone cutters are concerned. 1t is
estimated that 10000 men are idle here as a
result of the strikes. The general shut down
inaugurated this evening is the outgrowth
of a series of strikes in the building
trades, and is in the nature of
an attempt by the employers
to force the battle with the woIkmen and
secure lasting peace during the season. The
carpenters, painters and others, it Is an
nounced, will be kept at work as long as
there is anything for them to do, but their
work will be blocked four days by the lock-
out of the bricklayers The employers
claim to have established a perfect embargo
on material, only few limo dealers and
some smaller brick men having failed
to sign the agreement not to sell
material during the lockout. The sufferers
so far are composed of about 1000 brick
layers, 1000 hod carriers, 800 carpenters
and plumbers and 1,500 miscellaneous me
chanics. An uproarious meeting of the
bricklayers was held tonight, but no action
was taken either to rescind the demand for
a Saturday pay day or to formally declare
a strike.
